GN 00307: Foreign Evidence

TN 32 (07-06)

A. Introduction

1. General

The Romanian Government has stated that full identifying information, as determined by that government, must be shown on each request for a birth certificate. They have provided a form (shown in GN 00307.784C.) for requesting birth certificates.

The servicing Federal Benefits Unit will try to secure a birth certificate even where some information (other than basic identifying information about the individual, referred to as the bearer) is not shown.

Individuals who left Romania illegally, or stayed abroad illegally, may be asked to supply supplemental information about, or regularize, their status before their requests are honored.

2. Certifications of Civil Records

In 1996, the old-type certificates were replaced by a new version. Certificates are now issued on a Romanian/English/French multi-lingual form. Birth certificates are blue, marriage certificates are pink and death certificates are gray.

The certificates have a serial number and the name and personal identification number of the bearer, the signature of the issuing official (officer of the vital records), and the ink stamp/seal of the city hall where the document was issued.

B. Procedure

To request a birth certificate from Romania, print/copy and have the claimant complete the form in GN 00307.784C.

See GN 00312.328, for the office to which the form is to be sent.
